Have your say on improving housing in East Sussex

Overview

We want to hear from people and organisations with an interest in housing, about what you think of the draft strategy for improving housing in East Sussex.

East Sussex Housing Partnership works to meet local housing needs in the county. The partnership is made up of the five local housing authorities, housing providers and partners from across health, social care, children’s services, criminal justice and the voluntary and community sector.

To guide its work, the partnership has created a strategy that sets out the priorities it will focus on over the coming years. The priorities identified so far are:

• Homelessness prevention
• Housing, health and care integration
• Housing and management standards
• Creating new homes
• Tackling climate change
• Private rented housing

Why your view matters

We’d like to hear your views on the strategy, including the six priorities and aims for making improvements in those areas. Your feedback will help ensure the strategy reflects people's experience of housing in East Sussex and what’s important to residents.

The strategy aims to improve housing in East Sussex and support the five local housing authorities’ individual strategies. It will also guide future service planning, including opportunities to secure additional funding.
